Beautiful and dries wellI used Short Cuts to paint bottle caps. Because I had the time, I waited 48 hours between coats. Each coat dried completely, and the bottle caps are very attractive. I plan to seal them with a glossy clear coat for durability. I am very pleased with this product, and I will continue to use it for small projects.

Has Worked Great on Several ProjectsI've used Krylon Short Cuts Gold Leaf several times now, and each time the projects have come out just as wonderfully as I hoped they would. The first project I used it on was to highlight intricate details on a French style solid wood vanity I was updating. I finished it with clear wax and it has held up without an issue for over a year now. The second project I used it on was glass treat jars with metal lids. I glued toy dogs to the jar lids and I adhered vinyl stencils to the glass, primed both sections with a universal bonding primer, sprayed them gold, and then sealed them with Krylon Cover Maxx Crystal Clear Acrylic in Satin. They turned out wonderfully and they were well received as gifts.

Unhappy BrideMy fiancé and I decided to DIY our wedding invites to save on money. We printed our invites and wanted a silver paper cover for them. We went with this brand because of its high recommendation from Amazon reviews. This is supposed to be compatible with paper, but even after four days of sitting after the initial spray the paper covers' silver paint rubs off onto your fingers at the slightest touch. We had to go buy a finishing sealing spray and use up an entire evening to re-spray them. I'm very unhappy, as this adds more time and money to our project when it isn't indicated anywhere that a finishing sealing spray is needed. The cans were also too small, the paint ran out very quickly. I'm glad I only bought them on sale instead of full price.

Stays tackyI purchased Krylon Short Cuts. I was excited since it was a small size and cost less. It was okay sprayed on wood. Then I tried it on baked polymer clay. It is about 14 hours later and it is still tacky. It still has not dried and the project is ruined. I am very upset.
